Habitat Certification is a program designed to recognize and honor you, the GNPS members, for planting, nurturing and protecting native plants in your gardens. With your work, you demonstrate that even a small residential property can can help sustain the native ecosystem—its plants, wildlife, water, soil, and air—a vital contribution to a world that has lost so much. A garden is always a work in progress: it will have its ongoing tasks and its ongoing and unfolding pleasures. We hope to help you appreciate and enjoy the process.
